Actor, musician, and comedian Jim Belushi will bring his holiday show to The JPT Film + Event Center on Friday, Dec. 12, for a fundraising concert benefiting Newport’s Broadway Street Fair.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m.
Belushi, best known for his roles in “According to Jim” and as a member of the original “Saturday Night Live” cast, will perform with his daughter Jami Belushi and an all-star band. The lineup includes The Uptown Horns, the Rolling Stones’ horn section, bassist David Hull of the Joe Perry Project, guitarist George McCann of the Blues Brothers, and drummer Marty Richards of the J. Geils Band.
Special guests will include Barry Goudreau, formerly of the band Boston, and Kevin James Graham, who recently appeared on “The Voice.” Additional surprise guests are expected to be announced.
